Chapter 399 I Can Afford to Pay for Heating
Her soft, red lips beckoned him, and instantly, his gaze turned unfathomable and dangerous.
Before Anastasia knew it, Elliot had already pressed her onto the window, kissing her. However, she
held his waist as she shivered.
Heavens, she was acrophobic!
She couldn’t help freaking out with him pressing her back against the window.
However, her nervousness fueled his appetite. His possessive kiss tingled her senses, and it
overwhelmed her.
She pinched his waist when she finally couldn’t stand it anymore, for she was on the verge of breaking
down.
Elliot could only release her then. “I-I have a fear of heights!” Anastasia said bashfully before grabbing
her bag. “I’m going to pay the bill.”
After exiting the restaurant, Anastasia said knowingly, “I still have to buy something. Why don’t you
head home first?”
Clearly, she didn’t want him to send her home.
“What are you getting? I’ll go with you.” How could he leave her out here on her own when it was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtalready this late?!
“I’m going to watch a movie with a friend.” Anastasia checked the time to find it was a little over
8.00PM, and she’d be able to catch a movie.
“What friend?” Elliot knew her lifestyle and social circle better than she did, after all.
Knowing that her plan wasn’t working, she held her forehead and admitted, “Alright, I’m not meeting a
friend, nor am I going to buy anything. I just don’t want you to send me home. Happy?”
Elliot smirked in response. “Are you really this afraid of me?”
Suddenly, Anastasia had the urge to watch a movie. Since she had to take care of Jared, it had been
ages since she last went to a cinema. With that, she turned to Elliot. “Do you want to watch a movie?”
“Sure!” He was more than happy to do anything with her.
With that, the couple went to a mall nearby since Anastasia had already bought the tickets online.
Elliot’s tall and handsome figure was exceptionally eye-catching among the crowd. Some thought he
was a celebrity, while others thought he was a model.
He would have people amazed on the first look and sinking on the second.
As the Presgraves had shielded him from the public eye since he was a child, it was normal for the
average Joe not to know who he was.
When it was time to enter the movie theater, Anastasia handed Elliot a drink before they sat down and
enjoyed a blockbuster.
Amidst the darkness, Elliot held her hand and interlaced their fingers, and whenever the movie cut to a
salacious scene, he would even stare at her with a beaming and captivating gaze, for he dreamed of
reenacting such scenes with her.
Anastasia’s face flushed amidst the darkness, mortified. A certain someone wasn’t just playing with her
hand, but he was also rubbing her palm amorously.
Her face was bright red for the entire movie, and she had no clue what she had just watched. All she
remembered were Elliot’s every fidget.
Why did she suggest watching a movie?!
It was already 11.30PM by the time they left the cinema. Elliot wrapped his arms around her as they
walked to his car parked in the parking lot outside. His tall stature acted as a windbreaker for her,
shielding her from the cold winter wind.
After entering the car, Elliot said contentedly to Anastasia, “Let’s go home!”
“Sure!” Anastasia nodded before pulling her phone out to check for any messages. Later, she flipped
through the trending pages to find the news of Savill declaring bankruptcy everywhere. Alas, a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdomestic brand was gone just like that.
With that, she looked over at the man driving. The dark blue ambient lights inside the car brought out
his nobility and otherworldliness. His slender fingers controlled the steering wheel elegantly, just like
how he controlled the commercial world with ease.
“Am I a sight to behold?” Elliot smiled as he looked ahead, seeming as though he knew she was
staring at him.
“Yeah!” Anastasia admitted.
“Would you like to have me? I’m very easy to get. You just have to reach out, and I’m all yours,” he
joked.
“I don’t want to,” she answered bashfully.
“Well, may I have you?” Elliot rephrased.
“No.”
“It’s freezing today. I can help warm your bed.”
Anastasia chuckled as she looked out the window, amused. “Thanks, but no thanks. My heater is doing
perfectly fine.”
“You have to pay for heating, whereas I’m free of charge.” Elliot tried to sell himself.
She turned to him in response, still chuckling. “I can still afford to pay for heating.”
